Organ, K., & Macdonald, S. (2014). Satellite hemodialysis services for patients with end stage renal disease. Canadian Association of Nephrology Nurses and Technologists, 24(1), 28-33.
This article was a qualitative study about satellite hemodialysis services for patients suffering from end stage renal disease (EDT). Moreover this study evaluates the significance of services catered for by a single satellite hemodialysis unit (HD) unit on patient contentment, accessing care and standard of life using the method of qualitative interview research design. Likewise, satellite hemodialysis is a solution to extended distance travel by patients in accessing hemodialysis services. Equally important this study demonstrated that a satellite hemodialysis unit enhanced access of services and boosted the standard of life of the patients incorporated within the study.
